Hi Everyone,
Hope you don't mind me joining you ladies. I am at the beginning of my slimming world journey and have been reading this forum over the last week for some tips and advice and have decided that I would join you all for a bit of added support.
I am 28, and have a 10 month old son. Have heard a few success stories from Slimming World and have considered trying it for a while now but due to a mixture of being busy with my son and cutting costs have not really had a chance to. Recently I have decided enough is enough and this weight HAS to go so I had a look on ebay and got myself an ebook with the slimming world starting pack and have decided to do it from home. Im doing it along with a friend of mine who has done slimming world before at a group. My first battle was chosing the right time of day to do my weigh in. I weighed myself last thursday night and I was 13st13lbs, my friend and I decided to have the same weigh in day (she started the week before) so I weighed myself again on Friday night as decided that would be our weigh in day and I was 13st11lbs so I knew straight away that weighing in evenings probably wouldn't suit me as I do get bloated but my friend prefers evenings so I just went with it. A week went past, I stuck to the plan religously following extra easy days and also started at the gym every other day and felt confident I would have a loss. My friend had a bad week and said she wanted to start over so we weighed on the thurs night and decided to change that to weigh in night and I was 13st13! I felt devastated, I had pretty much put 2lbs on from the Friday. Out of curiosity I decided to weigh myself at 7am the next morning and I was 13st10lbs! So I think my theory was right, my bloating in the evenings is going to be a problem for weighing in then. So my friend is continuing with the thurs evening and I am doing the friday morning and I am going with the 13st,10lbs as my starting weight! Its been good doing it with my friend as we go gym together and motivate each other, but even after her really bad week she lost quite a few pounds and me sticking religously to my diet and exercise plan didn't really achieve anything. So I thought joining this forum would give me that extra bit of support in weeks where my weight loss is a bit slower as I know the reason for this is that I have PCOS. I've battled with my weight for years because of this, following all the advice from dieticians and what not but nothing has really worked, then again I don't think I have ever been in the right frame of mind before. I feel like im in a really good place and I can really do it this time, I think accepting that its not going to be easy with the PCOS and that its going to be a very slow drawn out process has really helped with this. Because it is likely to be a drawn out process, I want something that I can stick to and maintain my weight with which is why I have chosen slimming world.
Wow, I have really rambled on haven't I? Looking forward to chatting to all you ladies!
Just enjoy yourself but get right back on it the next day. With regards to your syns I would just not have any that one day as you are eating out in the evening but for the rest of the week carry on as normal. That's what I would do, but of course if you want to cut back a few from say 15 to 10 that would work too.
